I had the interview. It was fine. The supervisors selected me for the position. The industrial sponsor also supports the decision of the supervisors. But the personnel department doesn’t want to give me the position because I am too old! (I am 33) Meanwhile I rejected a PhD position in my country because I didn’t know that I would have a problem. Now I am desperate.
Hi Rena, Thanks for the link. I will look at it.I think the university has no problem to take me. It is the FOM ( fundamental research on matter) that rejected me. FOM seems have an age limit for oio. It wants people under 27.
Hi Ann, The research is completely funded by an industrial sponsor. Hence my supervisors got support letters from the sponsor. But it seems it didn’t work.
